Quite clearly, Mr. Corcodilos was working in conjunction with, and was in contact with, two board members. There is no problem with that. He NEVER represented himself as a board member, and was only using his considerable intelligence and knowledge of how Government works, to get information--public information--for them. I do believe, now that I have seen these emails, that he has grounds for a lawsuit. Get out your wallets, CT residents. Where did you all get this Dincuff guy? He's scary. Get your candidates ready for November--it's your best hope.

There is an overreaction here. This is a housekeeping ordinance, to close out open permits. If the seller took out a permit to, say, put on a deck, and either didn't end up adding the deck or didn't get a final inspection, the permit is still "open" and the construction office is left with carrying the permit indefinitely. This enables the permit to be closed out by requiring a final inspection. It does not deal with work done without any permits being pulled. The cost does seem steep, however.

Interesting stuff. This is the first time I've seen a picture of Dincuff. I thought he was some fiesty young Turk. He's an old chubby guy who doesn't even have the courtesy to put on a jacket and tie to run a school board meeting. And, as has already been stated, he seems to forget that he is only one member of the board. That being said, WHERE IS THE REST OF THE BOARD? The voters did not elect them to roll over and play dead! When are they going to take back their board? ALL of their reputations are being tarnished here. And, as usual, Nick had excellent questions that deserve--and need-- to be answered. Mr. Kaplan, you post on these forums a lot, and you appear to be a smart guy. WHY DON"T YOU SPEAK UP AT MEETINGS instead of having to explain and make excuses on the forum?

So if these young men were as honorable as some of you are suggesting, and if some were truly not at the scene, and if football is so all-important, why haven't the ones who were actually involved done the honorable thing and stepped forward and confessed and said that the others were not involved?
